You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are solving for miles per hour or m/hr. Your problem gives you 26 miles per 4 hours. This word problem translates to
26/4=6.5
This says that 6.5 miles are ran each hour since our units are miles per hour or m/hr. Miles per hour is a measure of speed. Manny runs 6.5 mph.
